Anthropic reportedly launches employee stock sale program, with a scale potentially reaching up to $6 billion

Gelonghui, February 24 — According to Bloomberg, sources familiar with the matter say that artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is offering some employees the opportunity to sell stock, with an estimated valuation of about $350 billion. Anthropic has raised $5 to $6 billion in this secondary market stock sale, with the final amount depending on how many eligible employees choose to participate. The specific details are still being finalized. The offer will be open to current and former employees who have worked at the company for at least 12 months.
